Center Console
Where is the best place to purchase a center console piece for my 72 4-speed, with light saddle interior. Mine has a crack at the opening of the emergency brake handle.
Thank you,

Thank you,
Thank you,
Also, does your 72 console have stitching along the sides? If so is the stitching real and not molded in? I was surprised that the stitching on my 70 interior was real, not molded. Until I looked very close, I just assumed the stitching was molded in. When I bought a some repro interior pieces for it, they came with actual real stitching. When inquiring about your repro console, ask about the stitching if this is a relevant issue for your 72.

68-70 vette,
Thank you for your post. My console does in fact have real stitching. After inspection, what I found is that I need the arm rest where the emergency brake is. Not the console.

I bought an emergency brake console from a supporting vendor and was dissapointed in the quality. Instead of being a type of fiberglass feel to it, it is a very stiff plastic. Not even the same type of material.
Did I use it....of course! But I know how cheap it really is.
Also...when you buy a new brake console, buy a new rubber strip that goes around the e-brake. I ripped mine trying to put everything back together and had to wait for my repro one to come to complete the job.
